About the GAA Museum
GAA Museum at Croke Park
The GAA Museum was established to commemorate, recognise and celebrate the GAA's enormous contribution to Irish sporting, cultural and social life since its foundation in 1884. Located underneath the Cusack Stand of Croke Park, GAA headquarters, the museum is open daily throughout the year.
The GAA Museum was first opened in September 1998 and in 2010 unveiled an exciting refurbishment which includes a new Café, temporary exhibition space, updated match footage, a new games area and a magnificent new trophy display.
The museum details the birth and growth of the GAA at home and abroad and its unique role in the national movement and cultural revival in Ireland. The vast collection of artifacts which include hurleys, jerseys, trophies, medals, programmes, publications and banners illustrate the development of Gaelic Games whilst preserving and presenting the unique heritage of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
